On the basis of the hypothesis that the academic texts of the sages from classical Judaism (1st-8th centuries CE) form part of a restricted sphere, as opposed to other texts of later compilation, such as the so-called Minor Treatises of the Talmud –oriented more towards a public sphere with a didactic intention–, we will read one of these treatises in order to review the visibility (or invisibility) of women in its contents and arguments. One of these ethical texts, Kallah Rabbati, has been selected for being a treatise that orders daily issues that affect men and women, such as sexual relations in marriage, as well as other ethical considerations on human behaviour. Through the text we will analyse the role that women may have played in the academic sphere, in order to analyze how they are presented in the discourse; their possible role as transmitters or receivers of these didactic texts of classical Judaism.

La conocida como Ley de extranjería ha sido y es uno de los elementos que mayor atención y debate ha suscitado en el marco de la política migratoria española. Sirvan como ejemplo las sucesivas reformas de las que ha sido objeto en la última década, puesto que se han llegado a contabilizar hasta cuatro. La última tuvo lugar en el mes de diciembre de 2009. Con el objeto de profundizar en esta realidad, se ha desarrollado el proyecto de investigación I+D concedido por el Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología y titulado SEJ 2006-05222. Inmigración y Bienestar Social, en cuyo contexto se enmarca el presente artículo. Se ha analizado el articulado de la Ley y sus implicaciones sociales a través de los principios de la Grounded Theory. Para cada reforma, se ha contextualizado, además, el marco político y social que justificaba la misma. Entre otras conclusiones, se observa que la Ley es un intento de dar respuesta a la nueva realidad de la extranjería en España desde un planteamiento meramente técnico, sin mayor pretensión ideológica. No obstante, la lógica discursiva pone el acento de manera mayoritaria en la necesidad de «controlar socialmente» al extranjero. Todo ello provoca una suerte de metonimia en el articulado de la Ley entre extranjero e inmigrante, lo que convierte a la Ley en coadyuvante de una fractura social cada vez mayor entre extranjeros y nacionales, con todas las implicaciones que ello supone en los procesos de identidad y alteridad. ; Act 4/2000, commonly known as the Aliens Act, has caused considerable debate in Spanish society about migration policy. The last decade, the Act has been amended repeatedly- a total of four amendments have been made. The most recent amendment was proposed in December 2009. This article reports the findings of research project I + D SEJ 2006-05222. Social Welfare and Immigration, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology, and aims to examine this issue in depth. The provisions of the Act and their social implications were analysed using Grounded Theory. In addition, this article contextualises the political and social framework for justifying the Act for each set of amendments. We conclude, inter alia, that the Act is an attempt to respond to changes in the situation of aliens in Spain from a technical perspective, without an ideological objective. Nevertheless, the discursive logic of the Act focuses mainly on the need of "social control" over foreigners. The Act's provisions cause a sort of metonymy between foreigners and immigrants. Thus, the Act contributes to an ever greater social divide between foreigners and nationals, with wide-ranging implications on identity and otherness processes.

Antes de la pandemia de COVID-19, miles de mujeres marroquíes cruzaban diariamente la frontera entre Melilla y Marruecos para trabajar en el empleo del hogar, un sector consolidado como nicho de mujeres de baja formación, clase obrera y transfronterizas. Con el cierre fronterizo por el confinamiento en 2020, muchas decidieron permanecer en Melilla. En este contexto, siguiendo los preceptos de la teoría fundamentada y a través de entrevistas de corte biográfico, el artículo indaga en las estrategias de supervivencia desarrolladas por estas mujeres desde el cierre, por el que iniciaron un proceso ambivalente: por una parte, empeoraron sus condiciones laborales, lo que las exponía a mayores situaciones de violencia; pero, por otra, desarrollaron estrategias de resistencia y agencia asumiendo el papel de proveedora familiar, optando a un proceso de emancipación a través de oportunidades de inclusión y formación en la ciudad de Melilla.

This article explores how women's sexuality has played a central role in building and reproducing the collective identity of the nation in two countries, Ireland and Spain. It argues how a nationalisation of women's bodies created a symbolic and idealised version of womanhood, reinforced by a complex infrastructure of criminal code, places of rehabilitation and a system of surveillance operating through government, medical and religious institutions. We explore these processes through an analysis of the discourses governing prostitution in leading newspapers between 1939 and 1975, corresponding to the public nation-building projects to Catholic nationalism through the idealisation of family, motherhood and domestic life. Three key discourses from the newspaper coverage have been identified around prostitution: protecting the national body, the exile of women in prostitution and ordinary women as a threat, to trace the process of renewed nation building that occurred in both countries from the 1940s onwards.
